Release Day Blitz + Giveaway: Starflight by Melissa Landers

Hey there, booklovers!

I’m author Melissa Landers,
and I’m thrilled to announce the release of STARFLIGHT, the first in a
brand new sci-fi series from Disney-Hyperion. I originally pitched this
story to my editor as “Overboard” (one of my favorite romantic comedies)
meets “Firefly” (an amazing show that was tragically cancelled after
one season). STARFLIGHT follows the misadventures of Solara Brooks, a
penniless felon who indentures herself to her high school nemesis, Doran
Spaulding, in exchange for passage to a new world. But when Doran’s
memory is temporarily erased, Solara convinces him their roles are
reversed—that she’s the master and he’s the servant—and leads him onto a
renegade spaceship, where intergalactic shenanigans ensue. STARFLIGHT
is very different in tone from the Alienated trilogy, but the story is
still filled with all the things I love: humor, heart, and adventure.

What do reviewers have to say?

“Get
ready for blast-off! Action-packed and utterly addictive, nobody writes
like Melissa Landers. A smart, satisfying romance set in a vividly
detailed world, Starflight was just plain fun!” –New York Times
bestselling author Amie Kaufman

“Teens will be bracing
themselves during the swashbuckling action scenes. A great choice for
fans of raw sci-fi action, reminiscent of the lawlessness presented in
the television series Firefly.” –School Library Journal

To
celebrate my book birthday, I’m offering one lucky winner a STARFLIGHT
swag pack, complete with custom nail wraps, bookmarks, and a mini
poster! The giveaway is open internationally. Due to sweepstakes laws,
entrants must be 18 years or older to participate.
